We Don’t Need to Cure Autism

Well, Now

About this episode

April is Autism Acceptance Month, and how we’ve come to understand autism has evolved over the past several decades. 

For years, autism spectrum disorder (ASD) was thought of as something that needed to be cured. Through better data and years of activism, that misunderstanding is changing.

On this week’s episode of Well, Now we discuss that evolution with Sara Luterman, caregiving reporter for The 19th.

Podcast production by Vic Whitley-Berry and Ahyiana Angel with editorial oversight by Alicia Montgomery.
